Benefits of technology

[0006]An object of the present invention is to provide a surgical kit for operations on the spinal column that enables the surgeon to part easily the muscles from the spinal column while minimizing bleeding.
[0007]A further object of the present invention is to provide a surgical kit for operations on the spinal column that enables the surgeon, with a combined action of his hands, to avoid the use of the periosteal elevator, except in the initial step, for parting the muscles from the spinal column.
[0008]Another object of the present invention is to provide a surgical kit that is highly reliable, relatively simple to provide and has a competitive cost.

Problems solved by technology

This procedure is highly invasive, since parting of the muscles by resecting and separating entails considerable bleeding.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]With reference to the figures, the surgical kit according to the present invention includes a surgical instrument, generally designated by the reference numeral 1, which comprises a handle 2 constituted by a plate-like body that has a substantially curved or rectilinear shape and which ends at one end with a portion that has two curvilinear parts 3a, 3b blending with the body portion, laterally thereto, and ending substantially with a flat portion 4 that blends the two curvilinear parts 3a, 3b.

[0019]In a side view, the end portion, generally designated by the reference numeral 5, has a substantially wedge-like shape and tapers toward the portion that lies furthest from the handle 2.

[0020]Conveniently, the rectilinear portion 4 can have a set of teeth 6, as shown in FIG. 3.

[0021]The surgical instrument according to the invention is configured to be used to rotate gauzes 7 of a cylindrical shape, as shown in FIG. 4, which have different sizes and which are adapted to roll on th...

Abstract

A surgical kit for operations on the spinal column includes a surgical instrument having a handle body, the handle body having a substantially flat portion blended with the body, wherein the substantially flat portion is shaped to urge the gauze for draining a wound.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a surgical kit for operations on the spinal column. More particularly, the present invention relates to a surgical kit that allows exposing portions of spinal column on which for example prostheses or screws are to be implanted subsequently.BACKGROUND ART[0002]As it is known, operations on the spinal column, particularly for implanting prostheses, screws and the like, require parting the muscles from the spinal column by using a periosteal elevator, which enables a surgeon to cut a muscle closely in contact with the spinal column so as to be able to then part it completely from the column.[0003]In this manner, the muscle bundles separately from the spinal column, enabling the surgeon to have free access to the spinal column in order to implant fixation screws, prostheses and the like.[0004]Currently, the technique for parting muscles from the spinal column entails using a scalpel to cut the muscles at the region of contact of the...
